In the heist of opposing the opposition left and right, the scared Congress leadership most of time fails to use to its benefit , the knowledge, expertise, suggestions , ideas and support of important opposition leaders specially from BJP and Left.
Most of the subjects connected to foreign affairs and those more related to the close neighbours, need a joint handling, logically by only two principal parties that is Congress and BJP. The history shows how Atal Behari Bajpayee even when he was in the opposition , had actively played an important role in presenting India's national views and standpoints to world forums and at within India meetings.
Yes this was asked for and accepted by the that time leadership without any feeling of inferiority syndrome . Do the present controlling leaders of ruling party have that guts ? No , they are hell bent on their superiority complex or otherwise in realty, they personally lack experience or expertise on such international designed matters; or probably they are misguided and diverted by the surrounding think tank, whose sense is markingly poor in perspective of vital long reaching foresight and national interest first vision mindset .
2014 election bound mindset of political Indian Government's Minister of State for Home RPN Singh has accused BJP of "politicising" the terror attacks in Jammu by their "asking to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh not to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif " as he argued that the opposition party too had invited former President Pervez Musharraf after Kargil war .
{see the mindset, it argues that what you have done after Kargil was correct, than why Congress will not do the same, that is the only logic }.
Defending the Prime Minister's decision to go ahead with talks with Sharif, Minister of State for Home RPN Singh said, "India will forcefully raise the issue of terror during the bilateral meeting and BJP has no moral right to criticise the UPA government as when they were in power, even they invited Kargil war architect Musharraf for talks, and BJP should not forget that,". {WHAT A SILLY LOW MINDSET ARGUMENT FOR A NATIONAL SECURITY MATTER ? }
It is a cruel fact that the ruling Congress party does not have a single leader of highest stature, who has some "instant thought generated vocal power" ( most dependent on prepared read out) {have you seen President Obama reading a paper on important matters ?}.
An high calibre national leader must command deep respect and mass acceptance within the nation or also at international stage ; as this is a must to build a consensus on national interest important matters and take forward those joint views in one voice forcefully to the ears of India's adversaries or friends.
Congress needs to find and develop or groom at least one such leader that will be India's best interest now when Congress is ruling party or also in future the Congress party as a national party will be equally important even if it is in opposition.
A self confident high stature Congress leader should have used intelligently this shouting by opposition to put pressure on Pakistan and its weak prime minister Nawaz Sharrif, the cry and shouting was "indirectly meant for that purpose" only. But the "Inferior complex syndrome" crippled Congress fought the BJP criticism as petty election politics, diluting the "national interest first theory", rather then showing this as national anger to Pakistani leaders.
